Morphology

blamer = blame (transparent) = blame + er

Standard agentive suffix '-er' added to the verb 'blame' yields 'one who blames', with no sense shift.

Etymology

Blamer comes from the common verb blame, which means 'to say someone is at fault', and the ending -er, which means 'a person who does something'. So a blamer is someone who often points fingers at others instead of accepting blame.
